PATTERN AND INSTRUCTIONS: The Scout Dress
🕑 Added 2021-07-01 15:05:27 +0000 UTCUpdate 4/14/2023: The Scout Dress is now available in sizes 2-20 and 18-34 (A-H cups). We've updated the instructions to include cutting layouts for both directional prints and solids/non-directional prints.
Update 7/19/2021: Hey all, just wanted to let you know that we found a small error on the pattern. The Back Neck Facing is 5/8" too wide at the outer edge, so it did not match the front facing. This is an easy fix on your own, so no need to reprint if you've already printed the files. Simply shave off 5/8" at the outer edge of the back facing before seaming it to the front facing. The files are now updated if you have not printed it yet. Thanks for your understanding!
Meet the Scout Dress! This adorable 50's style shirtdress is the perfect addition to your wardrobe. The styling possibilities are endless: go for polka dots to lean into a vintage feel or make a cheerful floral number to brighten up every room you're in (after you've made your scouting uniform to match us, of course!) Plus, show off your merit badges in style with our fabulous Charm Scout Sash--a bonus project for you this month. And don't forget to check out our new Camp Gertie-themed Spoonflower prints! (We also have a new blog post telling you how to adapt the Scout Dress for a border print. Check it out here!)
Wondering about fabrics and supplies? Check out the written instructions at the bottom of this post for links and recommendations. You'll also find the tiled file (for printing at home on A4 or letter size sheets and taping together) and the A0 file (for printing at a copy shop like pdfplotting.com).
We hope you love the #ScoutDress!
xoxo,
Gertie
